I was very skeptical before I bought some, but that shit is highly addictive. What’s Chicago mix popcorn? For me, popcorn has to be salted, not sweet. And if you can get it (unlikely) or make it at home, put melted butter on it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I've had two people knock my door today, one trying to get me set up a direct debit to a charity, the other was from moneysupermarket and started asking me about my broadband. I always feel bad interrupting them to say I'm busy or not interested as they're just doing their job, but I'm assuming it was from today they were allowed to go back to work, maybe? If so, are our doorbells going to be rang a lot more now over the next few weeks as companies know a lot more people are working from home?

Davkaus Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I have absolutely no problem shutting the door in their face. I tell them I'm not interested, if they try to keep talking, I just close it in their face. I hate salespeople in general, but the ones who interrupt my day via unsolicited phone calls or knocks at the door can **** right off. I did almost engage with one that was selling windows, because I needed some work doing, but I realised the very last people I should be buying from are people that try to win business by knocking door to door, that's not a sales method I want to encourage.

I have one of those "no cold callers, religious types " stickers on my front door & it works 99% of the time - even the jehovah witnesses keep away. However, when some pikey yoof in a cheap skinny suit still rings the bell and starts out by saying "s'oiright mate i ent sallin ya nuffink..." i usually tell them i just rent the place and it stops them in their tracks. Or if it doesn't then i kick off and offer them my glasses so they can read the effing sign on my door !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago my friends wanted double glazing quotes so they accepted cold calls and booked appointments from 2 firms. Neither turned up.

It wasn't a border station just a liaison office , the north withdrew from it back in March 19 anyway ... its not an attack against the South in any real sense , just a symbolic act ...North-South relations have been patchy for well over a year now . Pyongyang rarely acts on the spur of the moment so they declared back on the 4th June they would be completely cutting off all the communication and liaison lines between the north and the south , if the South didn't stop leafleting in the North ... it seems they have just acted out on the threat Edited June 16, 2020 by tonyh29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think kims sister is worse than him in simple terms , NK needs money and economic aid , this is the calculated way to get some attention The sister is interesting ,they do seem to be raising her profile , but she isn't next in line to take over despite what you may have read ... though interestingly she is married to the son of the person who would most likely take over in the event of the death of KJU .... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
